Letters Patent No. 92,766, dated July 20, 1869.

IMPRQ'vEMENT IN LAMP-CHIMNEYS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part or the same.

to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. I

Figure l is a vertical section of my lamp-chimney, showing that either end of the chimney is attachable to lamp-burner. v

'Figiu-es 2 and 3 show variations of form, either end being attachableto burners his invention relates to that class of lamp-chimneys in which there is a swell, intermediately between the two ends of the chimney, and

It consists in constructing such chimneys in such a way that either end may be applied to the lamp-burner, all as hereinafter more fully set forth.

Letters A and 13 show the two ends of my lampchinmey, in figs. 1, 2, 3.

I do not confine the invention to any special form of chimney, or size.

' By inverting my'chimney, the opposite end is attachable to a burner. I

Both endsof my chimney may be made to fit the same size and style of burner, or maybe constructed to fit different sizes or styles of burners.

To enable others to make and to use my invention,

1 herein particularly describe it.

i 'lhe chimney is made by glass-workers, by any of their usual processes, with or without moulds,,of varieties of sizes, styles, and forms, as may be desired, so

that the lamp-chimney be constructed with its two ends attachable to lamp-hunters, (by inversion,) whichvthe ends are made to fit.r

As lamp-chimneys do not, in the manner in which they are made, always fit the burners well, for which they are intended, and, as they become fi'equentlycracked at the end attached to burner, and as it may be convenient: to change a chimney,,my invention at; fords such convenience, as well-as combines a neat and substantial finish to the upper end not attached, whilst in use, to burner.

What I claim as my, invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A lamp-chimney, constructed substantially as herein described and shown, and for the purposes set forth.
